Marquam Building

The Marquam Building rises eight stories with thick stone walls, rounded arches over windows, and a facade that incorporates both brick and terracotta ornamentation.

Built in 1892, the Marquam Building emerged during a period when American cities experienced substantial growth and architects favored grand structures with European influences.

The building represents late 19th-century architectural preferences, when structures combined practical functionality with design elements from medieval European construction methods.

Two elevators service the eight floors of the building, providing vertical transportation for occupants at coordinates 45.51925 latitude and -122.67874 longitude.

The structure demonstrates the adaptation of medieval architectural principles to modern commercial needs through its combination of rounded towers and asymmetrical facades.
